Drinking Window: 2023 - 2033
Hand-picked from a granite vineyard in the Lima Valley. Vibrant citrus aromas, interwoven with white flowers, nuts and honey. Brisk mineral palate, with green apple, grapefruit and freshly cut lemon. A touch of creaminess from six months on lees. Focused linear acidity leads to a fresh, mouthwatering finish, with a touch of salinity - and suggests ageing potential. A lovely match for grilled fish and seafood – brilliant value for money.
